Hi Tom-- Actually, I also ported GCD to FreeBSD last year, and developed the MPM = on FreeBSD/GCD :-). It requires a post-8.0 version of 8-STABLE, and then = libdispatch port + clang compiler. You can find out more here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/GCD The clang dependency is due to C Blocks, and we have an unpatched gcc so = gcc-compiled applications can't use blocks. Robert=
